Bismarol's Failure as a speeulatOr.

APropo OF the impossib1ity Of fore

the Contemporary E1eUie11, Prince Bis
marcl, in one of those long evenings at
Versailles, during the siege Of Paris, told
story which Herr Busch has reported
for us in his curious book, Bismarck
und Seine Leutte.'' At the moment when
the quarrel between Prussia and Switzer-
land seemed likely to lead to war, Bis
marck, who was then Prussian represent
alive at ths-diet at Frankfort, called on
Rothchild and instructed him to sell
some stock which he thought would fail
If the war broke out. "rhey are good
securities, said Rothchild; sit is a mis-
tai Q to sell them" IT know what I
know" answered Bismarck; 'ssu." As
We know, the Emperor Napoleon inter
vened, and the question was amicably
settled. Bismarck. who thought himself
so well informed sold his stock and lost
on the bargain. at is the only financial
speculation I ever nade,' he added At

other diplomatists. I thought I was
admirably informed, and yet my forecast
was entirely cOntradicted by the event. -

Lord Duferin had been at so much

extreme discretion and his unfailing good
sense and upHghtness, he not only avoid
ed doing harm, but did a deal Of good,
and might be credited with having rapid
ly given hxity to new institutions. He
greatly enjoyed being in Canada. He
found IN many parts of the dominion
Scotland Widened out and Presbyterian
ism sOftened and mellOWed. What he
immensely liked was not having fourteen
persons between him and his wife when
they appeared in public. She also en-
jOyed the matrimonial equality as much
as he did, and toward the end CT their
term Of Office she looked forward with
pain to his being relegated to his old
place Of fifteenth behind her. It must

marquis himself to say that he would not
on any account stay six years, because
in doing so he might interfere with ar
engagements that the cabinet wished to
make.
Princess Louise gave an undoubtsd
impetus to fine art In Canada when she
was there. She got to ike the clear.
cold climate, the effects Of snow and
frost on lake and forest, and the fast
rushing and full-aOwing rivers; but the
accident she met with when riding In a
covered sledge, by injuring her health,
spoiled her capacity for enjoyment, and
obliged her to return to Europe to seek
at European watering places a cure for
nerves that were permanently affected.
She quickly got to feel that the Cana

with great affability, adapted herself to
their temper.

When Fernando Cortez went to Mexi.
co IN search Of gold, the first discovery
he made was chocolate. This new sub
stance was considered a sort of wicked
luxury at least for monks, who were
among the first to adopt it, but who
vert solemnly warned against its sup
posed peculiar effects,
Chocolate (as the Mexicans call It,
chOcOlat) is the popular name for The
seeds Of the cocoa plant, IL a prepared
state, generally with sugar and CHINA
mon. The Mexicans improve the flavor
Of the inferior sorts of cocoa seeds By
burying Them in the earth for month.
and allow them to ferment. The nutri-
hOus quality Of either cocoa or chocolate
is entirely OWING to the oil or butter of
cocoa which It contains, Cocoa nibs,
the best form Of taking tius production,
are the seeds roughly crushed. When
the seed Is crushed between rollers, the
result Is faxed cocoa. Common C Goa
Is tne seed reduced to a paste and
pressed into cakes. Tue cheap kinds Of
chocolate are said to be largely adulter-
ated with lard, sage and red lead-a
perniciOus mixture for healthy stOmachs;
but what must it be for weak stomachs
craving for food at once nutritious and
easy Of digestion? The patent ehoco-
| lates are nothing more than various
MODES Of preparing the cOcOI seeds.
The ladies OF Mexico are so eZces sive-
ly fond Of chocolate that they not only
take it several times during the day, but
they occasionally have it brought to
them IN church, and during the service.
A cup of good chocolate may, indeed, at
ford to the drinker strength and patience
to undergo bad sermon. Tie bishops op-
posed it for a time, but they at length
closed their eyes to the practice. SPAN
welcomed the gift Of chocolate made her
by Mexico with as much enthusiasm as
as she did that Of gold by Peru; the
metal she soon Equandered. but chOcU-
late is still to be found IN abundance IN
the peninsula. 1t is an especial favOrite
with ladies and monks, and 1t always ap-
pears on occasions when courtesy re-
qulres that refreshments should be Of
fered. The Spanish monks sent presents
Of It to their brethren IN French mouas-
teries; and Anne OF Austria, on her mar
rage with Louis XIII. Of France,
brought supply of chocolate from
Spain, and It henceforth became an es-
tabhshed custom.
In the days Of the regency It was far
more commonly consumed than coffee,
for 1t was then taken as an agreeable ali
ment, while coffee was still looked uDon
As a some what strange beverage, but
certainly akin to luxury. In the opinion
Of Linn@us it must have surpassed all
other nutritious preparations, or that
naturalist would hardly have conferred
upon it, as he did, the proud name OF
I'heObrOma- for the gods" The
favOrite drink Of the Emperor Napoleon
was ehOca, a mixture Of coffee with
milk and chocolate.
Invaids VIII do well to remember !
that chocolate made with vanilla is in |
digestible ahd injurious to the nerves. !
Indeed, there few stomachs at all that
can bear chocolate ss a daily meal. It

Trial Justice Robinson, Of Anderson,

negro was arraigned before him charged
with stealing hog. One If the Wit
ness5s for tie prosecution was especially
active Ii his efforts TO fix the guilt M
on the prisoner, and in an unguarded
moment showed himself guilty OF du-
picity. The judge took cognizanee Of
this fact, and finding the evidence againt
the prisoner wholly insufficient for con
vietiOn. ordered him released. Believ-
ing strongly in the guilt OF the party
he had spotted, the judge determined to
try the effect Of an old chestnut, and
suggested to tie large crowd Of daIkies
present that the matter be left entirely

st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
The great success of Lady Randolph
Churchill as an election canvasss- re-
minds the historian of the efforts of the
duchess Of Devonshire IN behalf of Fox
il I784. Her grace was remarkable for
her great beauty, and a quaint cut of
the period represents her using natures
| gifts to the best advantage. ga kiss for
vote" was the rule throughout the con
test, and many buriy voter found the
bride irresistible. So successful was the
scheme that the opposition enlisted 9th
or beautiful women on their side, and
what Is quantity described as a kissing
match ensued- If electors took brides
of this kind from both sides their gal
lantry must be their excuse. At any
rste, the ladies won the day, for the
third candidate in the triangular con-
test, having declined to make allies Of
the fair sex, got very conspicuOusly left.
Other and more Objectionable election
eering lodges prevailed until at last
public opinion grew SO strong that Judi
ciOus Legislation was gradually intro
duced and the game ended. A cartoon
OF the time, representing an indignant
electOr protesting against anti-bribery
acts, and exclaiming, with eyes and
hands uplifted, "Sire, there is a bill
about to pass that will ruin our trade
and bring our families to beggary.
hope sire, you will use your influence to
throw it out"
IN 1897 Grey brought in his first
measure and asked for leave to intro
duce a bill to reform the representation
Of the country. Leave was refused BY
fifty five votes. Thirty-four years later
he carried his measure, by which sever
al Of the most notorious pocket bOroughs
were perpetually DISTINGUISHED. In 1866
GladstOne's reform bill, disfranchising
several bOroughs, notably those in which
corruption was proved to have been
general, was rejected, and the year fol
lowing Disraeh dished the wings and
passed a much more stringent measure.
A year later the house OF commons
transferred its right Of trying election
petitions to judges Of the high court,
and with this change came for the first
time an impartial though severe admin
istratiOn Of the existing bribery laws.
In 1881 the most stringent bill against
bribery the world has ever heard Of was
passed, and now a candidate is com
PEELED to keep an exact account of his
expenditure, and not spend more than a
fixed sum, regulated recording to the
size Of his constituency. This coupled
with the ballot act passed ten years pre-
viously, put stop on bribery on any
thing like a large scale. The reform
bill OF 1885, redistributing seats in &C
cOrdance with population, aud finally
doing away with such pocket boroughs as
had escaped the two preceding measures in
the same tendency, may be said to have
completed the task and to have put a
final end to the amusing If immoral
practices Of olden times.

And sWeeter is the token.
